Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This turbocharger is specifically designed for VolksWagen VW T5 Transporter models with the 2.5 TDI AXD engine, manufactured from 2004 onwards. Key identifiers for compatibility include the engine capacity of 2460 ccm, 130 HP output, and 96kw power. Before purchasing, it is essential to confirm your original turbocharger's part number. Compatible part numbers include 070145701K, 070145701KX, 070145701KV, and 729325 series numbers (e.g., 729325-5004S).
Setup: Professional installation is strongly recommended. The turbocharger requires precise fitting and connection to the engine's intake and exhaust systems, as well as the oil and coolant lines. Improper installation can lead to damage to the turbocharger or the engine.
Care: Like all turbochargers, proper maintenance of the engine's lubrication and cooling systems is vital. Ensure regular oil changes with the correct grade of oil and that the oil filter is clean. Allow the engine to warm up before driving and let it idle for a short period after hard driving to allow the turbo to cool down. Regular checks of air filters and exhaust systems for leaks or blockages will also contribute to the longevity of the turbocharger.
